Finite Element Method for Multiphase Flow Instabilities | #Sciencefather #Researcherawards

Image
Introduction The study introduces a comprehensive finite element framework designed to model compressible, turbulent multiphase flows with heat transfer , addressing major limitations in conventional finite volume–based Volume of Fluid (VOF) approaches . By integrating a reconstruction-free VOF formulation with the dynamic Vreman large eddy simulation (LES) turbulence model , the method captures interfacial dynamics more accurately in high-speed two-fluid scenarios. Unlike traditional VOF studies that often omit thermal effects, this framework embeds energy transport directly into the multiphase formulation, enabling simultaneous prediction of flow evolution, turbulence, and heat exchange. Its capability to handle conjugate heat transfer without prescribing interfacial heat fluxes represents a major advancement over finite volume methods, which typically require explicit thermal boundary conditions that reduce accuracy. The framework’s effectiveness is demonstrated through instabil...

Pipe Damage Detection Using Line-Structured Light | Advanced Tech #Sciencefather #Researcherawards

Image
  Introduction Baseline-free structural health monitoring (SHM) has emerged as a transformative approach that enables real-time damage assessment without relying on initial reference data. This concept is particularly valuable for pipe systems, where obtaining pristine baseline conditions is often impractical. The discussed study introduces a novel framework that integrates line-structured light (LSL) and regional resonance pairs (RRPs) to enhance the reliability and accuracy of pipe damage identification. By analyzing resonance variations and quantifying material loss , the method offers a robust, non-contact, and comprehensive strategy for detecting, locating, and evaluating damage severity. Importance of Baseline-Free SHM in Pipe Monitoring Pipes operate in environments where baseline conditions can change due to aging, temperature fluctuations, or environmental stress, making traditional SHM approaches less effective. Baseline-free techniques overcome these limitations by relyi...
